Biodegradable/Compostable Products in CANADA
CORN CUPS, SUGAR CANE PLATES, POTATO CULTERY!! Oh..My!
Products made entirely from plants are BPA-free!
The Waste Reduction Store is a store for businesses and organizations run by people who want to change the world. We are a western Canadian, independently owned, woman run business.
We specialize in the sale of food containers made from plants. Our food containers are free of BPA (Bisphenol-A) as they are not made from a petroleum derived resin. Most number 7 plastics are derived from petroleum, a substance we believe humans should not use to create products in contact with our food. It is a non-renewable resource; it is not recognized by nature in a plastic or polystyrene form; it requires additional energy to recycle plastics; most plastics are not recycled and are used only a few times before they sit in landfills or pollute our world.
At the end of their life cycle our products are fully compostable. This means our containers can be turned into dirt within 180 days at a composting facility! Compost is an amazing alternative to petroleum derived fertilizers which contain chemicals. We can no longer depend on landfills to bury our problems and non-renewable resources to create disposable products.
What we do:
We believe a business needs to do more than just sell a new ‘green’ product.
1. We specialize in sourcing truly green and compostable food containers.
2. We work closely with composting facilities who will receive our products.
3. We offer consulting services to large institutions for product sourcing and composting.
4. We do NOT submit for tenders/RFPs (feel free to ask us why). Instead we help you figure out what is the right product, ‘green’ company to work with.
5. We connect our customers with one another and create networks of cross promotion with other green companies.
6. We re-distribute our products through other small companies in Canada to share the opportunity to change the world together!
